I have Lo-Jack for Laptops installed on my computer, and Rpcnet.exe is a part of it.

it is a part of Absolute Software Computrace Product

Also comes with rpcnet.dll, rpcnetp.exe, rpcnetp.dll in \Windows\System32 folder. File sizes of these files can vary since the rpcnet writes logs into these associated files. Controls IE to connect to "search.namequery.com" continuously whenever an internet connection is available. Activities are like a spyware, but for lost/stolen computer tracking purposes. If it acts like spyware, works like a spyware, it is a spyware! Fortunately, it can be removed by regedit.
